You are obviously falling for it. Get a grip young man. The two are a false equivalence.

No - wanting climate change does not make one a socialist

How are things going to be paid for? Some of the ideas being put forth do not have plan to pay for them. I do think WArren has at least thought about how to pay for this stuff more than other.

I do think something needs to be done about Climate Change. But what I read of the Green plan - it was not realistic. But, it presented a possible pathway that should be reviewed.

Remember - for the Dems - they have a binary choice. They need to win WI, MI, PA, OH, maybe FL or TX to get the electoral map in their favor. Might want to appeal to the people that historically vote and not tick them off and make them choose Orange

Exactly! Thats why, to me, focusing on Impeachment / Mueller and his taxes - are just wasted energy. (That and the fact the Mueller report proved nothing to charge - sketchy behavior, maybe wanting to be sketchy are actually not crimes).

Trump will do things that - like this tariff thing that can impact the pocketbook of Americans. That will be his downfall, not Mueller or paying his taxes. And that is when the Dems need to be prepared.

Have you read the Mueller report or just heard the Fox news cliff notes?

How do your law credentials stack up against these 600 prosecutors?

He is not going to be indicted as a sitting President.

I have read some of the report and yes, I have seen the thing where 600 prosecutors think he should be charged. I get that. To me, its still wasting their time.

If you are trying to convince me is a horrible human being - you don't need too. I want a decent enough candidate on the Dems side to vote him out of office as I think he is an abhorrent despicable human being. And thats being kind.

Okay. He won’t be indicted as a sitting President is a whole universe of different than “nothing to charge” him with.

But I still think they’ve only scratched the surface of the corruption that can be found on this scumbag.

Considering how he hounded Obama about his birth certificate, begged the Russians to hack Hillary's emails and ruined numerous FBI and Justice careers, I want to see him investigated until he’s behind bars.

I have no proof, no conspiracy theories or anything like that - but if things were found out that he made money through dicey means or became very rich out of the presidency, I would not be surprised.

It didn't prove that at all. It went out of its way to say it didn't exonerate the POTUS. It went out of its way to say it wasn't making a normal recommendation because of who was being investigated. The report ended with the statement about how no one is above the law and it cited Nixon v. U.S. I don't know if you know this, but Nixon went down for Obstruction of Justice.

Also, again, attempting to obstruct justice is obstruction of justice. Next time you are on trial for murder, try getting the guy investigating you fired by using your official capacity to get someone else to do it, then order that someone else to lie about it, and let me know how well it goes for you.

The Democrats can pursue policy while also holding ***** Grabber accountable for the first time in his life.

The TP fiscal conservative Republicans are our nation's only hope.

I get what you are saying and I still think its a lost cause but in percentage make it like an 80/20 split - 80% policy and 20% Mueller and not the other way

The U.S. came in second at $649 billion. In other words, the U.S. spent more on fossil fuel subsidies in 2015 than it did on the bloated Pentagon budget ($599 billion in 2015).

The U.S. actually spent $599 billion on national defense… One of the few things the Constitution authorizes Congress to spend money on. Almost all of fossil fuel “subsidies” consist of the tax treatment of expenses.

The U.S. government spent next to nothing on fossil fuel subsidies in FY2016.
